Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 17: Let's start with a pie in the sky (Seeking monthly votes!)

Bai Xu was in high spirits, his martial spirit activating, his entire body covered in green flames, mysterious and wondrous. With a hint of doubt, he spoke as if giving a speech, sincerely asserting: "Everyone, the world shouldn't be like this."

"Soul Masters rely on Soul Beasts as their foundation, killing themselves to obtain Soul Rings and Blood Soul Bones in order to strengthen themselves. They even obtain their moves and skills from Soul Beasts. Such a distorted cultivation system is utterly repulsive to me."

"What I will do is to make the Douluo Continent submit after I become a god, and all living beings bow down and respect me. The first thing I will do is to use my ability to modify the laws of cause and effect in the Douluo Continent, so that Soul Masters can cultivate their Soul Power on their own, and even if they hunt Soul Beasts, they will not produce Soul Rings or Soul Bones."

These words startled the ferocious beast, which initially thought it was nonsense. However, considering Bai Xu's mysterious and unpredictable abilities, it began to have a slight sense of conviction.

Bai Xu continued, "Apart from that, any efforts by you soul beasts to revive are futile. The fundamental contradiction of the extinction of soul beasts lies in the distorted cultivation system between soul masters and soul beasts. Humans are powerful, and in order to obtain powerful soul rings and soul bones and achieve success, they naturally turn their attention to soul beasts."

"Ten thousand years ago, before the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao ascended to godhood, he created the Soul Spirit. A single Soul Spirit could grant a Soul Master multiple Soul Rings, which did alleviate the conflict between humans and beasts to some extent and temporarily slowed the extinction of Soul Beasts, but it was only a temporary solution."

When Huo Yuhao was mentioned, a hint of regret appeared on Di Tian's face. Perhaps he should have killed that person back then, and he wouldn't have fallen into his trap, causing the soul beast to fall step by step into the abyss and become an object of human breeding and research.

"What I have done will allow the soul beasts to rest and recuperate without any worries, and multiply their species. Within a thousand years, the soul beasts will prosper."

Hearing Bai Xu's encouraging words, the ferocious beasts showed hope, but most of them remained numb and did not believe it.

That doesn't matter. As they get to know each other better and understand Bai Xu's martial soul abilities more clearly, they will only become more loyal and continue to strive towards this grand vision.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's eyes lit up again, placing some hope in Bai Xu. As if awakening from a deathly silence, she asked, "At that time, will the soul beasts be able to become gods?"

This issue involves most of the ferocious beasts present. If they were not subjected to heavenly tribulation, some of them might indeed become gods.

After realizing what was happening, Bai Xu replied seriously, "The problem of your soul beasts being unable to become gods is extremely complex. I'll keep it a secret for now and leave the truth for you to discover later. Don't think I'm joking; the problem of soul beasts being unable to become gods is indeed very complex, and now is not the time."

The ferocious beast was puzzled and didn't know why, so it didn't ask any further questions.

"Alright, Gu Yue, tell me your 'revenge plan to integrate into humanity' that you came up with earlier."

Gu Yue raised an eyebrow, puzzled that Bai Xu knew even this, truly knowing everything. However, she still explained cooperatively, "As a disciple of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo of the Spirit Pagoda, I infiltrated its interior. With my Silver Dragon talent, becoming the next Tower Master or Deputy Tower Master is no problem. During this process, I will research the Spirit Ascension Platform, a very special space existing between reality and illusion. I believe the technology of the Spirit Ascension Platform can be further improved, becoming a place for soul beasts to rest and recuperate. I can also use it to separate my divine soul to control all the soul masters who enter it, thus achieving revival."

"It's a great idea, but I suggest you don't think about it again."

Bai Xu glanced at Gu Yue and began issuing orders: "We'll be departing for the Dragon Tomb in two days. As for Wu Changkong, you'll find an excuse to give us both a long leave. As for you two, you can step back and rest for now."

With the soul beasts subdued, the story has come to a perfect end. All that's left is to improve your strength, join Shrek Academy, and await the attack of the evil soul masters.

However, after a short while, Di Tian and the others still hadn't left, which puzzled Bai Xu: "Is there anything else?"

Di Tian replied, "My lord, there is indeed something."

Bai Xu was taken back to the Spirit Pagoda by them, where he saw Xiong Jun lying motionless on the ground, on the verge of death, his life force rapidly fading away.

"I beg you to think of a way to save Xiong Jun. He went to kill Tang Wulin and was attacked by the Sea God's divine sense. He was seriously injured. Even if Bi Ji personally intervened, she could only keep him alive for a little while longer." Di Tian pleaded sincerely. Although he and Xiong Jun were not on good terms, they had worked together for tens of thousands of years and had developed a friendship. He could not bear to see his friend die.

Bai Xu stepped forward and stroked the broken dark gold claw. Green flames slowly enveloped the sunken part of Xiong Jun's chest. Delving deeper, he discovered that divine power destroyed all life force, like a maggot clinging to bone, constantly extinguishing Xiong Jun's life force and aggravating his injuries.

After a long pause, he withdrew his martial spirit and shook his head regretfully at everyone: "The power of the Sea God still remains, just like the Silver Dragon, who has been seriously injured for many years and has never fully recovered. She is a deity and can still withstand some of it, but I am powerless to save Xiong Jun now."

Upon hearing this, the ferocious beasts fell silent. They all looked at the unconscious Xiong Jun. They were used to life and death, but it was truly infuriating that a ferocious beast, the second strongest in the Star Dou realm after Di Tian, ​​had died in such a way.

Di Tian and the others left, saying they would take Xiong Jun to the core of the star system, where Bi Ji and the Emerald Swan Clan would do their best to treat him and see if a miracle could happen.

Everyone left, leaving only Gu Yue, Na'er, and Bai Xu.

Immediately, Bai Xu glanced at Na'er, who was huddled in the corner, and sighed, "What should I do with you? Tang Wulin's sister."

His words were barbed and pierced Na'er's heart.

"Alright, let's go back to Shrek Academy after we reach the Dragon Tomb. As Yun Ming's precious child, he'll go crazy if you're lost." Bai Xu waved his hand, ignoring him.

Na'er stepped forward and asked, "Di Tian said Shrek Academy would be destroyed, and he saw the God of Causality. Did you personally destroy it?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xu, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks, turned to face Na'er, and said, "Leaving aside who destroyed Shrek Academy, if it really was me, what do you intend to do?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Na'er's silver hair obscured her face, making it impossible to discern her expression. She simply kept her head down, enduring the pain, her fists clenched, and her body trembling.

Seeing her remain silent, her heart pounding, and her emotions seemingly reaching their limit, Bai Xu waved his hand and laughed, "Relax, it wasn't me. As for who it was, you'll find out at Shrek Academy eventually."

"Hoo-ha~~~~" Upon hearing this, realizing that Bai Xu was not joking, Na'er finally gave up, tears wetting the hair on her forehead, her amethyst-like eyes sparkling.

Gu Yue secretly jabbed Na'er in the back of the neck, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.

She didn't care about the outcome for the Shrek group. After settling Na'er in, she slowly walked to the window and stood side by side with Bai Xu, looking down at the night view of Donghai City.

Gu Yue asked seriously, "Do you think my plan is terrible?"

Bai Xu shook his head and chuckled: "It really is terrible. You're thinking too naively."

"It is indeed useful to separate your soul and control 90% of the Soul Masters in Douluo Continent, but it will undoubtedly greatly reduce your own strength recovery process. Even with the assistance of the Dragon God Core, you will not be able to recover to the level of a god, and you won't even be able to cross the Abyss. How can you talk about dominating humanity and breaking the Sea God Mark on Tang Wulin?"

"If any normal person were in your situation, they would prioritize restoring their strength, and everything else could be sacrificed."

Gu Yue was disheartened, his mind racing with thoughts, seemingly realizing he had truly acted without a plan.
